I never beat an arcade game when I was a kid as it would've cost a ridiculous amount in quarters to do so. When I get unlimited play at an arcade and get a new life just by quickly hitting a button, it's a different story.

But even on my old Atari 2600 and Atari 800, I never finished a game. Sadly, not even Pitfall or Adventure.

I used to take about five dollars in quarters on occasion in middle school to beat the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or X-men game. Not sure if I ever beat the second one or Simpsons in the arcade.

Ha! Recently I've decided to start finishing some games again. I listen to these podcasts about games and it finally pushed me to start finishing some myself rather than hearing about other people always finishing them. Hopefully you'll see your ending soon. I understand how that is. HarmoKnight was a short game, so it didn't take long for me to crank through it.
I am finally getting back into Wolf Among Us. Another game I started and then stopped playing. I finished Episode 3 last night.

Armikrog finally comes out tomorrow. Hopefully that'll be as good as Neverhood.

Finished Kid Icarus 2 last night (Of Myths and Monsters). wasnt that an old original Game Boy title? Certainly was! Nabbed it a while back as a freebie from Club Nintendo (RIP). A worthy successor to the original, not quite as difficult but still a challenge.

FINALLY. I finished a game. Bought Armikrog and finished.
I really like those kind of point/click adventures and it was very similar to Neverhood.
The unfortunate thing is that there are a few bugs, some that are catastrophic. I got stuck on a puzzle and saved it so I could come back. However, the save point moved me to the wrong place, in such a way that I couldn't go back to the unsolved puzzle, thereby trapping me. I had to restart the game. Grr.

Finished story mode in injustice gods among us for ps4. I suck at fighting games and end up button mashing a lot or using the same 4 movies over and over, but I have to say this is probably the best story mode I've played in a fighting game.

Good grief. Finished Prof Layton vs Phoenix Wright, just short of 29 hours and just finished what's probably the LONGEST 3DS game. It sure gave value.
Now on to Majora's Mask. Who knows, I may actually finish a Zelda game.
Probably not...

Finished Wolf Among Us last night. Good game overall. Loved the art style. Voice acting and story were both good. Now onto Walking Dead Season 2.

Finished Walking Dead Season 2. Good game, but I liked Season 1 better. Anyone know if they plan on making a season 3?

My daughter and I finished playing Costume Quest on PS3. Great little Halloween themed RPG. Hoping Costume Quest 2 goes on sale as I think I will pick it up.

Finished Entwined on the PS4. It was pretty lame overall. I wouldn't bother with this one. The ending especially was frustrating. While it was a short game overall, it took so long just to gather the birds/fish at the end to complete the last stage.
